Back to TopCauses. Chediak-Higashi syndrome is passed down through families (inherited). It is an autosomal recessive disease. This means that both parents are carriers of a non-working copy of the gene, and each parent must pass their non-working gene to the child for them to show symptoms of the disease. Defects have been found in the CHS1 (also called LYST ) gene.
The post-event massage is typically given anywhere from 30 minutes up to 24 hours after competition or activity. When working with runners after a marathon, I will focus on post-event techniques even up to 48 hours after their race, because of the damage they are doing to their muscles.
How long does a treatment take? Normal treatment time is 20 to 30 minutes. Can it be used pre-event? Yes, but at the trainerâs discretion. However, we recommend that you try it on the horse ahead of time, since different horses react differently to treatment. We have found that some horses are more relaxed after the therapy, so might not have the same edge before a race. Other horses are not affected in that way.
